    Very good question. I gave a wrong answer. This question made me realise that, I need to focus more on this topic.

    Thanks Paul. Excellent question. I learned quite a bit about checksums for this question (most of it coming from your blog).

    Its a topic I covered a couple weeks back while studying for the exam. It made my day to get it right.

    Thanks.

    Nice question!

    I spent 5 minutes reading here:

    http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlserverstorageengine/archive/2006/06/29/Enabling-CHECKSUM-in-SQL2005.aspx

    It does not give the specific answer but I was able to deduce the correct answer from the information given.

    An excellent balance of difficulty without controversy. Well done!

    Argh! I went through the answers and thought, "this sounds like the best one." For some reason, "none of the above" didn't register!

    Oh well. C'est la vie.
